Albers, R.A.W. (author)Technologische innovatie bepaald het tempo van de verduurzaming van de samenleving. De opgave is om de ontwikkeling van duurzame innovatieve technologie te versnellen en niet-duurzame innovaties op dood spoor te zetten. De kans is namelijk groot dat door maatschappelijke weerstand zo'n investering vervroegd moet worden afgeschrevenarticle 2015

Huijboom, N. (author), Bodea, G. (author)In this article, the debate on passenger name records (PNRs) in European politics will be perceived from a discourse analytical perspective. After the 9/11 attacks, the US government required PNR from aircraft passengers travelling from or to the USA. This, and the negotiations of the European Commission with the USA, led to heated debates in...article 2015

Thunis, P. (author), Pisoni, E. (author), Degraeuwe, B. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), Schaap, M. (author), Clappier, A. (author)Chemistry-transport models are increasingly used in Europe for estimating air quality or forecasting changes in pollution levels. But with this increased use of modeling arises the need of harmonizing the methodologies to determine the quality of air quality model applications. This is complex for planning applications, i.e. when models are used...article 2015

(author)Currently residential wood combustion (RWC) is increasing in Europe because of rising fossil fuel prices but also due to climate change mitigation policies. However, especially in smail-scale applications, RWC may cause high emissions of particutate mafler (PM). Recently we have developed a new high-resolution (7 x 7km) anthropogenic...article 2015

(author)For chemical industries, fresh water availability is a pre-requisite for sustainable operation. However, in many delta areas around the world, fresh water is scarce. Therefore, the E4Water project (http://www.e4water.eu) comprises a case study at the Dow site in Terneuzen, The Netherlands, which is designed to develop commercial applications for...article 2015

Tukker, A. (author)Since the 1990s, Product Service Systems (PSS) have been heralded as one of the most effective instruments for moving society towards a resource-efficient, circular economy and creating a much-needed 'resource revolution'. This paper reviews the literature on PSS in the last decade and compares the findings with those from an earlier review in...article 2015

Sayyari, Y. (author), Molaei, M. (author), Moghayer, S.M. (author)The category of metric spaces is a subcategory of quasi-metric spaces. In this paper the notion of entropy for the continuous maps of a quasi-metric space is extended via spanning and separated sets. Moreover, two metric spaces that are associated to a given quasi-metric space are introduced and the entropy of a map of a given quasi-metric space...article 2015
